| cefuroxime axetil esterase | <enzyme> Catalyses the hydrolysis of cefuroxime axetil to cefuroxime; also acts (slowly) on p-nitrophenyl acetate and alpha-naphthyl acetate Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
|---|---|
| chloroacetate esterase | <enzyme> Consider also naphthol as d esterase which uses 3-hydroxy-4'-nitro-2-naphthanilide chloroacetate as a substrate Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| chlorophyll esterase | A reversible hydrolyzing enzyme catalyzing the removal of the phytyl group from a chlorophyll, leaving a chlorophyllide. Synonym: chlorophyll esterase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cholesterol esterase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of cholesterol and some other sterol esters, to liberate cholesterol plus a fatty acid anion. Chemical name: Steryl-ester acylhydrolase Registry number: EC 3.1.1.13 (12 Dec 1998) |
| guanidinobenzoate esterase | <enzyme> Cleaves both 4-nitrophenyl-p-guanidinobenzoate and 4-methylumbelliferyl-p-guanidinobenzoate with the release of nitrophenol and methylumbelliferone, respectively Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- Synonym: guanidinobenzoatase (26 Jun 1999) |
| choline esterase I | <enzyme, neurology, physiology> An enzyme that breaks down unused acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft (the space between neurons), this enzyme is necessary to restore the synaptic cleft so it is ready to transmit the next nerve impulse. (06 May 1997) |
| choline esterase II | <enzyme> An enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine tostop its action. (22 May 1997) |
| methyl-p-hydroxyphenyllactate esterase | <enzyme> May be involved in regulation of cell growth in normal and neoplastic tissues Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- Synonym: mehpla-ase (26 Jun 1999) |
